Can string cheese be frozen?
Is it okay to freeze individually packaged string cheese?
I'm less concerned about what it does to the taste of the cheese, and more concerned about the safety of freezing the cheese with the plastic. I heard that there are certain plastics that should not be frozen, which is why I'm concerned.
If I had the name of the plastic being used, I'd probably be able to search for its safety online. However, the manufacturer does not list the type of plastic being used.
I've tried several searches online, but nothing yielded anything useful.
